Also also, with Winter [finally] coming to a close, the RainComicStore on Etsy is taking a hiatus from selling scarves. However, my wife has taken up a new craft: beading. And she's using that talent to make magnets and pins in a variety of forms. Do check it out. ^_^https://www.etsy.com/shop/RainComicStore

I think she is being pretty honest about her feelings, but the kiss still seems cruel, more than anything... She knows that Gavin likes her, and she's made it clear that she's not interested right now. "Never say never" is a bit flimsy... :P She's not exactly being dishonest, but the kiss was a bit mean, I think, given the situation.

I'm not sure about "cruel" but the kiss does seem to be sending a mixed message.
Am I the only one who would like to see Gavin and Rain end up together? (Mostly because they were best friends in the past, but also because most of the other possibilities don't seem to be working out well.)
EDIT: And by "end up" I mean a fairly long-term relationship...
EDIT2: fixed a wording that sounds wrong.

Rudy/Gavin seems unlikely. I'm almost certain that Gavin is one of the few cis straight guys in this comic.
Been re-reading the whole series (for the second time) in order to see if my idea was ever explicitly ruled out...and so far it doesn't seem to be - it just wouldn't happen for awhile longer.
(Not to mention quite a few hints early on that would actually AFFIRM my Gavin/Rain shipping.)

So, on further re-reading it looks like I'm wrong. Gavin and Rain will never get together. I had forgotten that she realized that she's gay, and it seems pretty firmly stated. Oh well. At least they are still friends.
